The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics
Chapter 29 Loyalty
Chapter 29 Loyalty
Du Ruoheng took a day off for her daughter's visit today, and had plenty of time to cook a hearty lunch.She went to the supermarket to buy vegetables the day before, and matched the recipe exactly according to her daughter's preferences, except for one staple food, pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin is something that Zhou Titi can't avoid, but Zhou Yanchi likes it very much.However, Du Ruoheng hadn't made anything for Zhou Yanchi for a long time, so when the latter saw that she really sliced the pumpkin, he was really surprised.
Like Zhou Titi, Du Ruoheng has no interest in melon dishes.Zhou Yanchi couldn't think of any other way to make a pumpkin pie so meticulously, other than just making it for him to eat.
Back in a foreign land, Zhou Yanchi was entrusted by Du's father to take care of Du Ruoheng. When he didn't know the inside story at the beginning, he once brought two little pumpkins to make porridge for her. And plausible: "Why do you drink porridge when you have meat? I haven't eaten authentic Chinese ribs for a long time."
As a result, the second time he went to look for pumpkins, he couldn't find them anywhere. When he turned around and asked her, she hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't like pumpkins, so I just threw them away."
At that time, Du Ruoheng was only in his teens, and he was still self-willed under his father's pampering, and he seldom worried about other people's feelings.In fact, when Du Ruoheng first got married a few years ago, she was still quite self-willed. It was only not long after giving birth to Zhou Titi, and even after the divorce, that she suddenly became unbelievably tenacious and tolerant.
After the divorce, every time he saw her, he could feel the change in her.More and more intellectual and generous, but also more and more indifferent to him.The two quarreled before, after all she was still willing to talk to him, but now she doesn't even bother to talk, if it wasn't for Zhou Titi's concern, she wouldn't even bother to give him a straight look.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yanchi disliked her change.But having said that, Du Ruoheng's changes over the years are not under his control.He couldn't stop her from doing anything she wanted to do.
including divorce.
Du Ruoheng was in good spirits at noon today.When she is in a bad mood, she doesn't even want to step in the kitchen, but when she is in a good mood, she can make a dish as delicate as a flower.So hot and cold dishes were served one after another, and Zhou Titi, who was sitting at the dining table, stared straight at him.
Du Ruoheng's chef is from Zhou Yanchi. It can't be said that he is the best, but he is definitely not bad.But during the three years of marriage, she rarely stepped into the kitchen to cook a dish in a serious manner.The Zhou family had hired a cook, and Zhou Yanchi herself, so it was not her turn to wash her hands and make soup.In the real sense, her culinary skills have improved by leaps and bounds since she got divorced.After leaving T city and leaving Zhou's house, she came to S city alone to take care of herself, and then she began to step into the vegetable section of the supermarket in a serious manner.
Looking back on her more than 20 years of life, the real changes almost all started with the divorce from Zhou Yanchi.Since then, she has been completely independent, enjoys life, and knows how to cherish and treat herself better than before.
Zhou Titi is a filial child. When the meal was served, she first grabbed a pumpkin pie and stuffed it into her father's mouth: "Daddy's favorite, mom made it, and daddy ate it!"
Under his daughter's earnest gaze, Zhou Yanchi took a bite with a smile, the corners of his eyes were curved upwards.
In the next second, his smile froze, his face quickly turned pale, and he almost lost his composure on the spot.
Du Ruoheng brought the plate of pumpkin pie in front of him, and said softly, "Is it delicious? It's specially made for you, eat more."
At noon, Zhou Yanchi ate half of a plate of pumpkin pie, not because he wanted to, but because if he didn't, Du Ruoheng wouldn't give him a good look at all.Of course, even if she ate Du Ruoheng, she wouldn't have a good face. She said to her daughter with some embarrassment, your father didn't finish this plate of pumpkin pie, so he had to throw it into the trash can later.
The innocent daughter was playing with her father's mobile phone, without raising her head, she said, "Let him pack it and take it back to T City."
Du Ruoheng said softly, then when you go home, you have to watch your father eat up all the pumpkin pies, don't miss a single one, Zhou Titi said that of course it's no problem, I'll call you mom when I'm done eating!
In the afternoon, the two adults took their children to the playground in a nearby shopping mall. Zhou Yanchi hadn't digested the pumpkin pie he ate at noon.Du Ruoheng didn't know what kind of messy things were mixed in the bean paste and honey stuffing. There must have been a lot of mustard and chili peppers. Besides, there was also a sour and bitter taste, which made him feel very uncomfortable now, so he had to turn around and ask: " What medicine did you add to it?"
Du Ruoheng watched her daughter playing on the slide without turning her head, and said easily, "Aspirin and sleeping pills." Using her daughter as a forward, let him dare to plot against her like this next time.
Zhou Yanchi frowned, and locked his eyes on her instantly: "What are you doing with sleeping pills at home, are you insomnia?"
Du Ruoheng was very dissatisfied with his reaction, and of course what she saw in his eyes also made her feel uncomfortable, so she got up and called Zhou Titi over, and the mother and daughter sent the dignified Yuanheng Group boss downstairs to buy truffle-flavored ice cream.
Zhou Titi stayed in the playground until night, and after a day of playing around, she finally fell asleep, and fell asleep in her mother's arms after only a few mouthfuls of dinner.The two adults have been waiting for this time, this time can be separated, otherwise Zhou Titi will not want to leave her mother when she is awake, and if she tells her to leave, she will definitely sit on the ground and cry.
Zhou Titi still can't understand the meaning of divorce, but she already knows what separation is subconsciously.
Du Ruoheng felt very sad, Zhou Titi already weighed several dozen catties, she carried her all the way to the entrance of the shopping mall.There were already drivers waiting there, and when they saw them, they respectfully called Mr. Zhou and Ms. Du.Zhou Yanchi took the little daughter over. The child smelled a familiar scent, but his eyes were not opened, and his two calves were already skillfully hanging on his father's waist.
Closer than with her.
Du Ruoheng's resentment towards Zhou Yanchi added another layer.She hated the separation of mother and daughter due to divorce, and was even more jealous of Zhou Yanchi's long time with her daughter.If the hatred was tangible, now she could knit Zhou Yanchi a blanket that was so heavy that it would crush people.
Zhou Yanchi looked at her with his daughter in his arms, Du Ruoheng lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to play, not wanting to pay attention.After a while, Zhou Yanchi said: "The administrative work in the hotel is too tiring, you don't need to make yourself so tired."
Du Ruoheng didn't understand, so she raised her head, Zhou Titi lay on her father's shoulder, so that she could only see his eyes, which were dark and unwavering, with a depth that had been accumulated for many years. It was indeed as Wang Feifei said, sexy and beautiful. charming.
He went on to add: "Besides, you are not suitable for working in a hotel."
One sentence made Du Ruoheng almost grab his neck again.After a while, she smiled slowly and said, "Thank you so much for your kindness. Goodbye."
At 10:30 that night, Zhang Yaran was about to go to bed after applying the mask beautifully, when she suddenly received a call from her boss.
Her boss told her weakly and dignifiedly on the phone that he was currently hospitalized with water in a certain room in a certain hospital because of acute gastroenteritis, and asked her to come and pick him up before eight o'clock the next morning to go to work in the company.
When Zhang Yaran heard it like this, things must not be done like this.She received a salary and bonus three times higher than that of an ordinary secretary from Zhou Yanchi, and her mobility was naturally several times that of an ordinary secretary.As soon as she hung up the phone, she changed into her work clothes, stepped on her high heels and took a taxi non-stop to the hospital. On the way, she called a certain hotel, saying that she wanted to reserve a certain porridge for the next morning, and specified No green onions, no ginger, no oily smell, only hang up after the instructions are properly delivered.
Her not-so-good-tempered boss hates scallion and ginger so much that he might be able to fire her for these two things.
But having said that, Zhang Yaran seems to have never seen Zhou Yanchi not picky about anything.This 30-year-old young boss is wise and powerful in handling the company's affairs, but at the same time he prefers to be arbitrary. Everything is difficult to get into his eyes. In his eyes, there may be no difference between people and things. The whole world just needs to be clear. Clear land falls into two categories - profitable and not worth mentioning.
A typical task-oriented boss, extremely materialistic.It has nothing to do with his elegant name - Yanyan Yanyan, calm and self-possessed.
When Zhang Yaran arrived at the door of the ward, her boss was chatting with the chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology. She was not suitable to go in, so she saw the part-time vice president doctor leaning on the cabinet door and smiling, "You deserve it. You usually do too much evil." Too many, God sent someone to clean you up."
Zhou Yanchi narrowed his eyes and weakly told him to get out.
"Pumpkin pie is delicious, isn't it? Gastroenteritis is good? It's good to lie alone in the hospital and dare not even go home and dare not tell my daughter? Let's talk about how angry and divorced at the beginning, what a big deal What happened in the end was because you were wrong and apologized and wanted to kill yourself? The problem is that you have to show your courage now, don’t go to S City to meet people if you have the ability, they don’t want to see you anyway.”
Zhou Yanchi touched an apple on the bedside table and smashed it with his head.The chief physician escaped easily, clapped his hands, opened the door and left.
Only then did Zhang Yaran dare to go in.Zhou Yanchi has always been very energetic. She can work continuously for more than 130 hours a week and she is in good spirits. She has never seen such a sluggish side of the boss, so she is very careful when she speaks, her voice is like a soul: "Mr. Zhou? Mr. Zhou? Are you okay?"
Zhou Yanchi was so noisy that he opened his eyelids, glanced at her and then quickly closed them, his face was cold and he didn't say a word.
Zhang Yaran said respectfully, "Let me see what else you need."
After a while, Zhou Yanchi finally uttered two words: "No need."
It was very quiet in the hospital in the middle of the night, and even quieter in the ward.Zhang Yaran stood there in embarrassment and couldn't leave. After thinking for a long time, she could only say, "Does your family know about it? Do you need me to notify you?"
Zhou Yanchi suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Who are you going to notify?"
"..."
Who else?Isn't it the butler in your home?Your parents are abroad and their daughter is only four years old. She is already alone, how many good ones are left to tell her?
As Zhang Yaran thought about it, he suddenly thought of those Yingying and Yanyan in Zhou Yanchi's legend, so he quickly changed his words: "How about I call Miss Lan over here?"
As I said this, I thought uncertainly, this should be the one I'm favoring recently, right?After all, she saw the blurry photos in the newspapers and spread gossip in the company. Although she had never seen the two of them in pairs, the newspapers had.
As a result, Zhou Yanchi immediately became impatient: "Let's go, you go home quickly, don't stay here and block my eyes."
Zhang Yaran: "..."
So Secretary Zhang, who was scolded for being rude 800 years ago, stood there for another half a minute, and went home with aggrieved bags in his arms.
Du Ruoheng was on the night shift on Sunday night. When he arrived at the hotel, he passed by Kang Chen's office. He was leaning on the edge of the table and looked very idle, surrounded by a circle of little girls, who were noisy and didn't know what they were talking about.
Du Ruoheng glanced at the door and was about to leave, but was stopped by Kang Chen from a distance. He had a box of pastries in his hand like magic, and waved to her with a smile: "Manager Du is on the night shift? Come and eat a piece of cake before leaving." .”
Only then did Du Ruoheng see that the little girls in the circle were holding a small tray in their hands, and there was a small black forest on it, and they were digging the truffles and fruits on it with forks.
Sometimes Du Ruoheng admired Kang Chen's methods very much.You can see that he has something to hide, it's not as simple as being from an ordinary family on the surface, but he has the ability to coax you to be satisfied when you come to gossip, and at the same time conceal the truth tightly.So much so that he has been working in this hotel for more than half a year, but no one has dug out his background.
Some people guessed from his ten pampered fingers that he was a noble son who escaped from a big family, but he was serious about his work and was friendly and unassuming. When they came to work, many people were thinking about it, covering their hearts and worrying, oh, where is Manager Kang going? Is he not sick? Should we call and say hello?
The other mid-level management has absolutely never enjoyed this kind of treatment from the grassroots employees.
Du Ruoheng walked over, and Kang Chen brought her the last piece of cake, which was obviously bigger than the Black Forest held by other little girls.Du Ruoheng loves this flavor the most, and it's okay to eat it all, but I feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, no one noticed this problem. A little girl asked in a sweet voice: "Manager Kang, is there such a thing, the general manager?" Do you really want to resign?"
Du Ruoheng was slightly taken aback: "Where did such a saying come from?"
The little girls said that they heard it when someone was cleaning the corridor, and said that the general manager was on the phone with the headquarters, asking for permission to resign.
Kang Chen said: "Eating can't stop your curiosity. But your general manager is getting old, and it's time to take care of your grandson. Even if you want to retire early, it's understandable."
"Is that true?"
Kang Chen smiled slightly: "So far, it's just a rumor. The general manager never mentioned this in a meeting."
The little girls didn't get a definite answer, and left one after another with disappointed faces.Du Ruoheng smiled inwardly, Kang Chen has always been a good Tai Chi player, so don't expect to get anything from him.
Du Ruoheng left after eating the cake, Kang Chen asked her to wait, and when she stood still, took a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.
He gently pressed the corner of her mouth with his fingertips through a tissue, and Du Ruoheng froze the moment he touched it.Soon Kang Chen took his hand away again, and smiled calmly: "Okay, no more."
Du Ruoheng pretended to be calm and hummed.
At the meeting the next morning, the general manager did not mention the resignation at all. He only said that a study group would come over next week and that a forum would be held here. Good spirits and serious hospitality.
A five-star hotel with the highest turnover must also have a huge network of contacts.And this kind of network is as important as the service of the hotel.It ensures that a hotel can still have an occupancy rate of more than 50.00% during the four-month off-season, and it also means that it can grab a steady stream of hosting fees in many activities such as forums, conferences, star signings, couples, and weddings , This is not a small piece of the hotel's profit.
Du Ruoheng glanced at the hotel's financial statements for the first time after joining the company, and was deeply surprised by the long strings of quiet and arrogant numbers on it. By the way, he felt lucky that the relatives and friends who got married in the hotel didn't know that they had been fooled, and those who didn't know were also happy .
Kang Chen asked, "Where is the inspection team from?"
"T city."
Du Ruoheng raised his head subconsciously, and Kang Chen asked, "Is the list in there?"
"I'll send it to you after the meeting."
The first time Du Ruoheng got the list, he jumped to the back to read the end. This kind of list of participants was either arranged by strokes or by initials, no matter what kind of list Zhou Yanchi had to be in the back.She started searching from the back to the front, and soon found the word Zhou Yanchi at the fourth-to-last position.
Du Ruoheng began to calculate the number of days left on his annual leave, whether it was enough to go out and play around and come back after the forum was over.Kang Chen stood behind her at some point, his eyes wandered around the list, and he suddenly chuckled.
He couldn't understand why he was smiling, so Du Ruoheng couldn't catch the laugh, and listened to him explaining to her with great interest: "Look, the general manager is really old and confused, and he dares to come up with this kind of list."
But he didn't explain it clearly, so it might as well not explain it at all.
Du Ruoheng had always vaguely felt that there was something wrong between Kang Chen and the general manager. Of course, this was just her intuition, and no one had ever confirmed it.The general manager usually likes to put on airs and stay away from the sufferings of the world. The low-level employees seldom see him, let alone see the conflict between the two.But on the other hand, there are too many examples to support this argument.
For example, in one morning meeting, Kang Chen even joked about Du Ruoheng with the general manager, saying that with her emotional intelligence, even if she jumps directly from the guest room manager to the general manager's seat, she probably can do a good job .As soon as this kind of head-cutting remarks came out, the audience fell silent.Du Ruoheng didn't know how to respond, let alone how courageous Kang Chen was to say such words.It almost made her want to die, her heartbeat was one hundred and four, waiting for the general manager's reaction, but she didn't expect that the latter just twitched her eyelids twice, and then turned the conversation nonchalantly to talk about Manager Zhang, your monthly summary When is it going to be handed over to me? It's the tenth day of the first month, and if you drag it on, it's time to write this monthly summary.
Very obvious process of venting anger.That is, after the meeting, Du Ruoheng heard Wu Wenping from the finance department muttering, saying where did Kang Chen come from? The character is so good that even his immediate superiors are accommodating.
During the day, Du Ruoheng was thinking about the list when he was free, but at night he suddenly felt relieved.She really didn't want to see Zhou Yanchi, but in the end he was not a beast, he would come whenever he wanted, she did her job, and the rest had nothing to do with her.This is how it should be.
After thinking about it like this, it was finally easy, when suddenly I heard someone knock on the office door twice.
Kang Chen's voice was unreasonably gentle at night: "I see that the light on your side seems to be on, are you still working?"
Du Ruoheng went to answer the door, and Kang Chen was standing at the door in light clothes and trousers, the light reflected tenderness on his brows and eyes.
The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he smiled a little: "Seeing that you haven't rested yet, I came to chat with you."
"Why didn't you come home?"
Kang Chen suggested that the two of them go to the bar on the first floor, and replied, "I have something to work overtime."
"Is the front office busy recently?"
Kang Chen said solemnly: "I'm not busy. But I'm busy with other things. I told you, don't tell others——I found a part-time job, and recently I'm working part-time to make money."
"..."
Du Ruoheng ordered a non-alcoholic drink, watching Kang Chen's stretched posture leaning against the bar.Good-looking and temperamental men are always privileged, and their every move is pleasing to the eye.Du Ruoheng could understand the red hearts of the little girls in the hotel. If she hadn't held that face to Zhou Yan for too many years, she would not be so calm when she suddenly met such a person.
The two usually get along well, but they have never been alone like this in private, so they were a little silent for a while.Under such circumstances, Du Ruoheng usually waited for the other party to start the conversation first, but tonight she felt inexplicably relaxed, and felt that she and Kang Chen didn't need to worry too much, so she asked first: "Has Manager Kang been to T City?"
"very familiar."
"How familiar are you?"
Kang Chen said with a smile: "I am so familiar that I can memorize all the streets on a city map. My home is in T City."
"..."
Du Ruoheng thought of an unknown small city that Kang Chen had written on his resume. Compared with what he said now, his intuition was a bit subtle.She thought for a while and changed the subject: "And the chocolate you gave my daughter that day, I would like to thank you on her behalf."
"What's the name of the little girl?"
"Zhou Titi."
"It looks like it's only three or four years old."
"Indeed, it will be my fourth birthday in two months."
Du Ruoheng was a little worried that he would ask her about the divorce next, but Kang Chen didn't say a word.The two chatted for about an hour, but Du Ruoheng knew a lot of inside information confirmed by Kang Chen himself. For example, he now lives in the east of the city and has a collection of ancient books at home. This was beyond Du Ruoheng's expectations. ; Another example is that the black B-series car he drives to work every day is indeed owned by him; another example is that he actually has a half-brother, and the relationship between the two is normal, maybe a little bit bad.
Du Ruoheng took the initiative to ask more than half of these topics.She admitted that she was the gossip spirit, but at the same time she was surprised by Yu Kang Chen's generous cooperation.Obviously according to his wrist, he can perfectly confuse every problem.
But no matter what, Du Ruoheng was content to gossip about this mysterious handsome man to such an extent.So much so that she walked briskly on the way back to the office, and all the anger brought by Wen Huai and Zhou Yanchi dissipated.Except that I felt that if the content of the conversation just now were changed in terms of time and characters, it would seem to be an introduction meeting of a blind date between men and women.
The next morning, Du Ruoheng restarted the machine, and not long after, he reminded Zhou Yanchi to call.
The phone over there rang for the third time, and Du Ruoheng finally answered it.
Zhou Yanchi cut to the chase: "I will go to City S next week and live in Jingman Garden."
Du Ruoheng finally spoke coldly, saying that he knew it a long time ago.
Zhou Yanchi paused for a while, then said, "If you find it inconvenient, I can live somewhere else nearby."
"You think too much, I don't have that much time." After speaking, he closed the phone.
The roles the two actually get along with are actually the opposite of what they seem to outsiders.Outsiders have been rumoring that one of the Zhou couples is strong and the other is weak, and that the strong one cannot be Du Ruoheng. In fact, Du Ruoheng was soft-spoken and tolerant when he was outside, but he was able to hold Zhou Yan in the time before the divorce. Direct war on physical violence.Zhou Yanchi at work is a cold-blooded, ruthless, harsh and serious tyrant boss. No matter how angry Du Ruoheng is when he returns home, he can always hold back his anger.
At their wedding, Su Qiu said that they were perfect couples, and Zhou Yan's recalcitrant temper was destined to be lonely all his life. Fortunately, there was Du Ruoheng who made him willing to restrain himself.For Du Ruoheng, she had the problem of overthinking and looking ahead, and Zhou Yanchi just gave her the correct and direct decision.
Du Ruoheng's psychiatrist, her former classmate Nie Liwei, after learning about Zhou Yanchi's upbringing, told Du Ruoheng that his dislike of listening to other people's words and his growing up in a discordant family environment led him to have a deep love for Zhongzheng. Word comprehension is biased.But Du Ruoheng thinks this is not the root cause.She just felt that she had relied too much on and trusted Zhou Yanchi, which caused Zhou Yanchi to be so negligent about the solemnity and seriousness of marriage.
She used to look up to this man so much, and she was completely relieved.Before marriage, she was in a state of obsession with him for a time, so much so that she trusted Zhou Yanchi's behavior [-]% and rarely asked him.She had never given Zhou Yanchi the same level of trust she gave to anyone else.This made her always laugh at his negative comments, but now that she recalls it, she has a kind of unbearable thought - she once built her trust so blindly on other people except herself, no wonder it collapsed Just for a moment.
On the day of the forum meeting, Zhou Yanchi entered the hotel with a group of delegates.Du Ruoheng distributed room cards and meeting passes on behalf of the front desk staff. When it was his turn, she gave him a better attitude than she had treated him after the divorce.Zhou Yanchi glanced at her, took it upstairs without saying a word, and called the front desk after a while: "There is a problem with the hair dryer in the room."
Du Ruoheng said, "I'll ask the waiter to bring you another one right away."
"You waiters have been away for a long time and haven't come back. I hope you will come up."
Du Ruoheng dropped the phone and went upstairs blankly, followed by Wang Feifei who was about to stare at her.
When they got to the room, Zhou Yanchi signaled to her that the hair dryer was indeed broken and unusable. The two stood facing each other less than a meter apart. Du Ruoheng checked for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Did you break it yourself?"
Zhou Yanchi said: "You have to put every abnormal event on me before you are willing?"
"It's not an anomaly, it's an anomaly. Before you came, I checked every corner of these rooms, and there is no problem. If you forcefully break the equipment and then slander it, it is an insult to my work."
After speaking, Du Ruoheng turned around and left.Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulders and pulled her hard, and Zhou Yanchi nailed her to the wall.
His voice was calm: "We need to talk."
"Talk about what?"
"You were prejudiced against me when you divorced."
"Prejudice? I don't even have the slightest idea of you. How could there be any prejudice left?"
"Why are you so impatient with me?"
Du Ruoheng didn't bother to answer him, so he bit and pushed him away, but no matter how hard he struggled, Zhou Yanchi used moderate strength to suppress her.Both of her legs were even stuck, and her whole body was pressed tightly against the wall.This feeling was very bad, and made her angry quickly, "Let go!"
In the past, in the marriage, it was common for the two to quarrel in the last half of the marriage, but every time Du Ruoheng sneered at each other and even used violence. Zhou Yanchi never fought back once, and if the problem was not serious, he would even seldom avoid it. No matter what she throws at him, he will take it life by death.It was the same this time, Zhou Yan held on for a while, and gradually loosened his strength.
But he still blocked her way out: "You are now to the point where you can even get angry when you see me. We have been together for so many years, do you think this is normal?"
"What's abnormal, everything is normal." Du Ruoheng gritted his teeth, "Are you going to let it go or not!"
"What's wrong with you? Where did I provoke you?"
Du Ruoheng didn't answer at all.She struggled to free her right hand, and slammed the hair dryer on his back hard.Taking advantage of Zhou Yanchi's distraction, he immediately ran five meters away from him.
Du Ruoheng didn't leave any room for it, and Zhou Yanchi was almost blacked out.Every time Du Ruoheng fights with him, he doesn't think about the relationship between husband and wife. He sometimes regrets teaching her the way of defense before. Then it all happened to him.
When his eyes were clear, he saw Du Ruoheng was stepping back angrily and vigilantly, grabbing a shirt button that had been torn open on his chest.
Zhou Yanchi closed his eyes slightly and inhaled lightly. It is estimated that his back had already bruised a lot, and he felt cool even when he breathed.Seeing that Du Ruoheng stared at him no better than staring at an enemy who has no worldly vengeance, he became even more annoyed: "You can rest assured, how dare I go there again, you should be quite knowledgeable about your skills." confidence."
Du Ruoheng said: "I don't believe even a hair of your whole body from head to toe."
He only took a small step forward, but Du Ruoheng immediately took a big step back.Zhou Yanchi had to stop, feeling helpless and a little funny.
He said: "Is this how you treat your hotel guests? I want hot towels and a bottle of safflower oil."
"The ointment provided by the hotel is ten times more expensive than outside."
"It's okay, if you fetch it and push it for me, I don't mind paying a hundred times more."
Du Ruoheng was furious: "There are no such messy things in the hotel! Go buy it yourself and make you suffer!"
After turning around and leaving, Zhou Yanchi reminded behind him: "Wait, I still need a new hair dryer."
"It's not my business!"
Zhou Yanchi said calmly again: "There should be a sewing kit in the drawer in the room."
Du Ruoheng wanted to strangle him to death: "Don't worry about it."
She finally touched the doorknob, opened the door and walked away without looking back.
Du Ruoheng touched the hotel brochure in Zhou Yanchi's room, and returned to the office with a thick black book in front of his chest.Cursing bastard bastard while changing shirts, Wang Feifei was whispering to Xiaoye when she returned to the lobby, she immediately corrected her attitude when she saw her, and then her eyes became meaningful when she saw the shirt she changed.
Du Ruoheng's face was as dark as water and angry.The neutral pen she was holding was on the list of participants without moving for a long time, until Zhou Yanchi sent another text message: "Uncle Liu specially made your favorite cookies for you, and they are in my room."
Du Ruoheng finally got a smile on his face when a new delegate signed the contract, pointing his finger at Zhou Yanchi and turning back viciously: "Get lost!"
In the afternoon, Du Ruoheng was ordered to follow the general manager and visit several important people among the representatives present.The first one was Zhou Yanchi's room. As soon as he opened the door, he could smell a strong scent of activating collateral oil.
Zhou Yanchi was wearing his own dark blue nightgown, with a cold expression, and he rarely responded to the general manager's warm and thoughtful greetings.Du Ruoheng has known him for so many years, but he rarely sees Zhou Yanchi outside.Most of the occasions he took her in and out were relaxed, and most of them were small dinner parties. At that time, he acted more easy-going, like a talkative person, with a slight condescension, and Du Ruoheng heard from Su Qiu There is a great distance between the cold-blooded emperor.
Therefore, she rarely sees Zhou Yanchi as he is now, with arrogance and dignity, and the conversation with the general manager is full of hierarchical divisions between people.
She scolded him in her heart for bullying.
The general manager has passed the age of knowing the destiny, and seems to be more open-minded than Du Ruoheng, smiling all the time, as if he didn't notice it.He asked Zhou Yanchi if there was anything that he didn't take good care of in the hotel, while he looked around to check the guest room, and then his eyes fell on the white hair dryer whose wiring was torn off in the bathroom through the glass door.
Zhou Yanchi glanced over, and Bafeng explained calmly: "I accidentally tore it just now, and I haven't had time to ask the waiter to change it."
The general manager turned to look at Du Ruoheng, who immediately used the walkie-talkie to connect with his subordinates: "Huang Xiaowan, replace the guests in room 1407 with a new hair dryer."
Zhou Yanchi suddenly said, "Manager Du is here to help."
Du Ruoheng smiled gracefully and gently: "If not, Mr. Zhou is polite, this is my duty."
After the two visited several important officials present at the meeting, the general manager suddenly said: "Xiao Du, I remember that you are also from T City?"
"Yes."
He looked at her with an inquiring look in his eyes: "Then do you know Zhou Yanchi?"
"...Mr. Zhou is so famous, there should be few people in T city who don't know him."
In the evening Du Ruoheng called Zhou Titi.The little girl was alone at home with the nanny, complaining to her mother that she was afraid.
Du Ruoheng always feels complicated at such times.Her parents divorced when she was young, and she still remembers clearly what it was like to leave her father. It was not a pleasant childhood experience.Now this same feeling has to be extended to his own daughter.If she hadn't divorced, she would have been by her daughter's bedside to lull her to sleep like most mothers in the world at this moment.How warm that scene will be.That's how it should be.
She has almost forgotten that she was not a multiple-choice question at the beginning.Her psychiatrist treated her very early, but there was no curative effect. In the end, the psychiatrist had nothing to do with her and told her seriously that she should have a clear understanding of her illness and follow the trend at that time, and finally It is not impossible to develop severe depression, which is already suicidal.
She couldn't sleep every night those days.Tossing and turning in the bedroom by myself.Zhou Yanchi quarreled with her, from the first tolerance to the later tit-for-tat confrontation and finally not returning all night, she began to hold a grudge against Zhou Yanchi from then on, and desperately wondered why he was no longer with her.
Du Ruoheng is actually not good at coaxing children.I can only say over and over again that Titi is good and Titi is not afraid that there will be a nanny in my father's house and he will be back in two days.Zhou Titi gradually began to cry like the rain was coming, and she was a little panicked.The arrival of this child was originally an accident. Du Ruoheng once told Zhou Yanchi fiercely that I don't want to have a child. Zhou Yanchi agreed very well, and even said it was okay. He didn't really want it, but he couldn't stand it. One in ten thousand chance exists.
Zhou Titi started to sob, Du Ruoheng said don't cry, okay, mom will make you your favorite bear cheesecake next time.Zhou Titi cried and said that it is not good that I only want parents.Du Ruoheng had no choice but to say that her mother was here, but Zhou Titi cried even harder: "I want my father! I want my father! I want my father and my mother!"
Soon Zhou Titi said something that made it even more difficult for her: "Dad said he would stay in the same hotel with you today, Mom, you go to find Dad, you go to find Dad!"
"..."
Du Ruoheng turned around three times, and finally stomped out of the office to find Zhou Yanchi.
Zhou Yanchi was handling company affairs with his glasses on, when he heard Du Ruoheng ringing the doorbell impatiently outside.At the same time he answered the door, she stuffed the phone into his hand, folded her arms with a bad expression: "Zhou Titi asked you to listen to the phone."
Du Ruoheng just wanted to leave and come back after he finished beating, but Zhou Yan quickly dragged him into the room and closed the door behind him.While calling his daughter's name on the phone, his tone was gentle enough to drip water.
Over there, most of Zhou Titi's crying disappeared in an instant, and she asked her father what you were doing with sobs.
Zhou Yanchi dragged Du Ruoheng to the sofa and sat down, while saying, "I'm chatting with your mother."
"What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yanchi opened the suitcase with one hand, took out a box of handmade cookies, and handed it to Du Ruoheng: "I'm talking about whether Zhou Titi is good at home these days."
Zhou Titi immediately said that she was very good.Zhou Yanchi hummed: "That's what I told your mother too."
When he said this, the corners of his eyes were raised, with a slight smile.The eyebrows and eyes are full of tenderness.Du Ruoheng has never been able to deny that Zhou Yanchi loves Zhou Titi more than she does. He treats most people in this world with reservations, but he treats his daughter with [-]% effort and patience. his cognitive level.
(End of this chapter)
Du Ruoheng took a day off for her daughter's visit today, and had plenty of time to cook a hearty lunch.She went to the supermarket to buy vegetables the day before, and matched the recipe exactly according to her daughter's preferences, except for one staple food, pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin is something that Zhou Titi can't avoid, but Zhou Yanchi likes it very much.However, Du Ruoheng hadn't made anything for Zhou Yanchi for a long time, so when the latter saw that she really sliced the pumpkin, he was really surprised.
Like Zhou Titi, Du Ruoheng has no interest in melon dishes.Zhou Yanchi couldn't think of any other way to make a pumpkin pie so meticulously, other than just making it for him to eat.
Back in a foreign land, Zhou Yanchi was entrusted by Du's father to take care of Du Ruoheng. When he didn't know the inside story at the beginning, he once brought two little pumpkins to make porridge for her. And plausible: "Why do you drink porridge when you have meat? I haven't eaten authentic Chinese ribs for a long time."
As a result, the second time he went to look for pumpkins, he couldn't find them anywhere. When he turned around and asked her, she hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't like pumpkins, so I just threw them away."
At that time, Du Ruoheng was only in his teens, and he was still self-willed under his father's pampering, and he seldom worried about other people's feelings.In fact, when Du Ruoheng first got married a few years ago, she was still quite self-willed. It was only not long after giving birth to Zhou Titi, and even after the divorce, that she suddenly became unbelievably tenacious and tolerant.
After the divorce, every time he saw her, he could feel the change in her.More and more intellectual and generous, but also more and more indifferent to him.The two quarreled before, after all she was still willing to talk to him, but now she doesn't even bother to talk, if it wasn't for Zhou Titi's concern, she wouldn't even bother to give him a straight look.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yanchi disliked her change.But having said that, Du Ruoheng's changes over the years are not under his control.He couldn't stop her from doing anything she wanted to do.
including divorce.
Du Ruoheng was in good spirits at noon today.When she is in a bad mood, she doesn't even want to step in the kitchen, but when she is in a good mood, she can make a dish as delicate as a flower.So hot and cold dishes were served one after another, and Zhou Titi, who was sitting at the dining table, stared straight at him.
Du Ruoheng's chef is from Zhou Yanchi. It can't be said that he is the best, but he is definitely not bad.But during the three years of marriage, she rarely stepped into the kitchen to cook a dish in a serious manner.The Zhou family had hired a cook, and Zhou Yanchi herself, so it was not her turn to wash her hands and make soup.In the real sense, her culinary skills have improved by leaps and bounds since she got divorced.After leaving T city and leaving Zhou's house, she came to S city alone to take care of herself, and then she began to step into the vegetable section of the supermarket in a serious manner.
Looking back on her more than 20 years of life, the real changes almost all started with the divorce from Zhou Yanchi.Since then, she has been completely independent, enjoys life, and knows how to cherish and treat herself better than before.
Zhou Titi is a filial child. When the meal was served, she first grabbed a pumpkin pie and stuffed it into her father's mouth: "Daddy's favorite, mom made it, and daddy ate it!"
Under his daughter's earnest gaze, Zhou Yanchi took a bite with a smile, the corners of his eyes were curved upwards.
In the next second, his smile froze, his face quickly turned pale, and he almost lost his composure on the spot.
Du Ruoheng brought the plate of pumpkin pie in front of him, and said softly, "Is it delicious? It's specially made for you, eat more."
At noon, Zhou Yanchi ate half of a plate of pumpkin pie, not because he wanted to, but because if he didn't, Du Ruoheng wouldn't give him a good look at all.Of course, even if she ate Du Ruoheng, she wouldn't have a good face. She said to her daughter with some embarrassment, your father didn't finish this plate of pumpkin pie, so he had to throw it into the trash can later.
The innocent daughter was playing with her father's mobile phone, without raising her head, she said, "Let him pack it and take it back to T City."
Du Ruoheng said softly, then when you go home, you have to watch your father eat up all the pumpkin pies, don't miss a single one, Zhou Titi said that of course it's no problem, I'll call you mom when I'm done eating!
In the afternoon, the two adults took their children to the playground in a nearby shopping mall. Zhou Yanchi hadn't digested the pumpkin pie he ate at noon.Du Ruoheng didn't know what kind of messy things were mixed in the bean paste and honey stuffing. There must have been a lot of mustard and chili peppers. Besides, there was also a sour and bitter taste, which made him feel very uncomfortable now, so he had to turn around and ask: " What medicine did you add to it?"
Du Ruoheng watched her daughter playing on the slide without turning her head, and said easily, "Aspirin and sleeping pills." Using her daughter as a forward, let him dare to plot against her like this next time.
Zhou Yanchi frowned, and locked his eyes on her instantly: "What are you doing with sleeping pills at home, are you insomnia?"
Du Ruoheng was very dissatisfied with his reaction, and of course what she saw in his eyes also made her feel uncomfortable, so she got up and called Zhou Titi over, and the mother and daughter sent the dignified Yuanheng Group boss downstairs to buy truffle-flavored ice cream.
Zhou Titi stayed in the playground until night, and after a day of playing around, she finally fell asleep, and fell asleep in her mother's arms after only a few mouthfuls of dinner.The two adults have been waiting for this time, this time can be separated, otherwise Zhou Titi will not want to leave her mother when she is awake, and if she tells her to leave, she will definitely sit on the ground and cry.
Zhou Titi still can't understand the meaning of divorce, but she already knows what separation is subconsciously.
Du Ruoheng felt very sad, Zhou Titi already weighed several dozen catties, she carried her all the way to the entrance of the shopping mall.There were already drivers waiting there, and when they saw them, they respectfully called Mr. Zhou and Ms. Du.Zhou Yanchi took the little daughter over. The child smelled a familiar scent, but his eyes were not opened, and his two calves were already skillfully hanging on his father's waist.
Closer than with her.
Du Ruoheng's resentment towards Zhou Yanchi added another layer.She hated the separation of mother and daughter due to divorce, and was even more jealous of Zhou Yanchi's long time with her daughter.If the hatred was tangible, now she could knit Zhou Yanchi a blanket that was so heavy that it would crush people.
Zhou Yanchi looked at her with his daughter in his arms, Du Ruoheng lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to play, not wanting to pay attention.After a while, Zhou Yanchi said: "The administrative work in the hotel is too tiring, you don't need to make yourself so tired."
Du Ruoheng didn't understand, so she raised her head, Zhou Titi lay on her father's shoulder, so that she could only see his eyes, which were dark and unwavering, with a depth that had been accumulated for many years. It was indeed as Wang Feifei said, sexy and beautiful. charming.
He went on to add: "Besides, you are not suitable for working in a hotel."
One sentence made Du Ruoheng almost grab his neck again.After a while, she smiled slowly and said, "Thank you so much for your kindness. Goodbye."
At 10:30 that night, Zhang Yaran was about to go to bed after applying the mask beautifully, when she suddenly received a call from her boss.
Her boss told her weakly and dignifiedly on the phone that he was currently hospitalized with water in a certain room in a certain hospital because of acute gastroenteritis, and asked her to come and pick him up before eight o'clock the next morning to go to work in the company.
When Zhang Yaran heard it like this, things must not be done like this.She received a salary and bonus three times higher than that of an ordinary secretary from Zhou Yanchi, and her mobility was naturally several times that of an ordinary secretary.As soon as she hung up the phone, she changed into her work clothes, stepped on her high heels and took a taxi non-stop to the hospital. On the way, she called a certain hotel, saying that she wanted to reserve a certain porridge for the next morning, and specified No green onions, no ginger, no oily smell, only hang up after the instructions are properly delivered.
Her not-so-good-tempered boss hates scallion and ginger so much that he might be able to fire her for these two things.
But having said that, Zhang Yaran seems to have never seen Zhou Yanchi not picky about anything.This 30-year-old young boss is wise and powerful in handling the company's affairs, but at the same time he prefers to be arbitrary. Everything is difficult to get into his eyes. In his eyes, there may be no difference between people and things. The whole world just needs to be clear. Clear land falls into two categories - profitable and not worth mentioning.
A typical task-oriented boss, extremely materialistic.It has nothing to do with his elegant name - Yanyan Yanyan, calm and self-possessed.
When Zhang Yaran arrived at the door of the ward, her boss was chatting with the chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology. She was not suitable to go in, so she saw the part-time vice president doctor leaning on the cabinet door and smiling, "You deserve it. You usually do too much evil." Too many, God sent someone to clean you up."
Zhou Yanchi narrowed his eyes and weakly told him to get out.
"Pumpkin pie is delicious, isn't it? Gastroenteritis is good? It's good to lie alone in the hospital and dare not even go home and dare not tell my daughter? Let's talk about how angry and divorced at the beginning, what a big deal What happened in the end was because you were wrong and apologized and wanted to kill yourself? The problem is that you have to show your courage now, don’t go to S City to meet people if you have the ability, they don’t want to see you anyway.”
Zhou Yanchi touched an apple on the bedside table and smashed it with his head.The chief physician escaped easily, clapped his hands, opened the door and left.
Only then did Zhang Yaran dare to go in.Zhou Yanchi has always been very energetic. She can work continuously for more than 130 hours a week and she is in good spirits. She has never seen such a sluggish side of the boss, so she is very careful when she speaks, her voice is like a soul: "Mr. Zhou? Mr. Zhou? Are you okay?"
Zhou Yanchi was so noisy that he opened his eyelids, glanced at her and then quickly closed them, his face was cold and he didn't say a word.
Zhang Yaran said respectfully, "Let me see what else you need."
After a while, Zhou Yanchi finally uttered two words: "No need."
It was very quiet in the hospital in the middle of the night, and even quieter in the ward.Zhang Yaran stood there in embarrassment and couldn't leave. After thinking for a long time, she could only say, "Does your family know about it? Do you need me to notify you?"
Zhou Yanchi suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Who are you going to notify?"
"..."
Who else?Isn't it the butler in your home?Your parents are abroad and their daughter is only four years old. She is already alone, how many good ones are left to tell her?
As Zhang Yaran thought about it, he suddenly thought of those Yingying and Yanyan in Zhou Yanchi's legend, so he quickly changed his words: "How about I call Miss Lan over here?"
As I said this, I thought uncertainly, this should be the one I'm favoring recently, right?After all, she saw the blurry photos in the newspapers and spread gossip in the company. Although she had never seen the two of them in pairs, the newspapers had.
As a result, Zhou Yanchi immediately became impatient: "Let's go, you go home quickly, don't stay here and block my eyes."
Zhang Yaran: "..."
So Secretary Zhang, who was scolded for being rude 800 years ago, stood there for another half a minute, and went home with aggrieved bags in his arms.
Du Ruoheng was on the night shift on Sunday night. When he arrived at the hotel, he passed by Kang Chen's office. He was leaning on the edge of the table and looked very idle, surrounded by a circle of little girls, who were noisy and didn't know what they were talking about.
Du Ruoheng glanced at the door and was about to leave, but was stopped by Kang Chen from a distance. He had a box of pastries in his hand like magic, and waved to her with a smile: "Manager Du is on the night shift? Come and eat a piece of cake before leaving." .”
Only then did Du Ruoheng see that the little girls in the circle were holding a small tray in their hands, and there was a small black forest on it, and they were digging the truffles and fruits on it with forks.
Sometimes Du Ruoheng admired Kang Chen's methods very much.You can see that he has something to hide, it's not as simple as being from an ordinary family on the surface, but he has the ability to coax you to be satisfied when you come to gossip, and at the same time conceal the truth tightly.So much so that he has been working in this hotel for more than half a year, but no one has dug out his background.
Some people guessed from his ten pampered fingers that he was a noble son who escaped from a big family, but he was serious about his work and was friendly and unassuming. When they came to work, many people were thinking about it, covering their hearts and worrying, oh, where is Manager Kang going? Is he not sick? Should we call and say hello?
The other mid-level management has absolutely never enjoyed this kind of treatment from the grassroots employees.
Du Ruoheng walked over, and Kang Chen brought her the last piece of cake, which was obviously bigger than the Black Forest held by other little girls.Du Ruoheng loves this flavor the most, and it's okay to eat it all, but I feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, no one noticed this problem. A little girl asked in a sweet voice: "Manager Kang, is there such a thing, the general manager?" Do you really want to resign?"
Du Ruoheng was slightly taken aback: "Where did such a saying come from?"
The little girls said that they heard it when someone was cleaning the corridor, and said that the general manager was on the phone with the headquarters, asking for permission to resign.
Kang Chen said: "Eating can't stop your curiosity. But your general manager is getting old, and it's time to take care of your grandson. Even if you want to retire early, it's understandable."
"Is that true?"
Kang Chen smiled slightly: "So far, it's just a rumor. The general manager never mentioned this in a meeting."
The little girls didn't get a definite answer, and left one after another with disappointed faces.Du Ruoheng smiled inwardly, Kang Chen has always been a good Tai Chi player, so don't expect to get anything from him.
Du Ruoheng left after eating the cake, Kang Chen asked her to wait, and when she stood still, took a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.
He gently pressed the corner of her mouth with his fingertips through a tissue, and Du Ruoheng froze the moment he touched it.Soon Kang Chen took his hand away again, and smiled calmly: "Okay, no more."
Du Ruoheng pretended to be calm and hummed.
At the meeting the next morning, the general manager did not mention the resignation at all. He only said that a study group would come over next week and that a forum would be held here. Good spirits and serious hospitality.
A five-star hotel with the highest turnover must also have a huge network of contacts.And this kind of network is as important as the service of the hotel.It ensures that a hotel can still have an occupancy rate of more than 50.00% during the four-month off-season, and it also means that it can grab a steady stream of hosting fees in many activities such as forums, conferences, star signings, couples, and weddings , This is not a small piece of the hotel's profit.
Du Ruoheng glanced at the hotel's financial statements for the first time after joining the company, and was deeply surprised by the long strings of quiet and arrogant numbers on it. By the way, he felt lucky that the relatives and friends who got married in the hotel didn't know that they had been fooled, and those who didn't know were also happy .
Kang Chen asked, "Where is the inspection team from?"
"T city."
Du Ruoheng raised his head subconsciously, and Kang Chen asked, "Is the list in there?"
"I'll send it to you after the meeting."
The first time Du Ruoheng got the list, he jumped to the back to read the end. This kind of list of participants was either arranged by strokes or by initials, no matter what kind of list Zhou Yanchi had to be in the back.She started searching from the back to the front, and soon found the word Zhou Yanchi at the fourth-to-last position.
Du Ruoheng began to calculate the number of days left on his annual leave, whether it was enough to go out and play around and come back after the forum was over.Kang Chen stood behind her at some point, his eyes wandered around the list, and he suddenly chuckled.
He couldn't understand why he was smiling, so Du Ruoheng couldn't catch the laugh, and listened to him explaining to her with great interest: "Look, the general manager is really old and confused, and he dares to come up with this kind of list."
But he didn't explain it clearly, so it might as well not explain it at all.
Du Ruoheng had always vaguely felt that there was something wrong between Kang Chen and the general manager. Of course, this was just her intuition, and no one had ever confirmed it.The general manager usually likes to put on airs and stay away from the sufferings of the world. The low-level employees seldom see him, let alone see the conflict between the two.But on the other hand, there are too many examples to support this argument.
For example, in one morning meeting, Kang Chen even joked about Du Ruoheng with the general manager, saying that with her emotional intelligence, even if she jumps directly from the guest room manager to the general manager's seat, she probably can do a good job .As soon as this kind of head-cutting remarks came out, the audience fell silent.Du Ruoheng didn't know how to respond, let alone how courageous Kang Chen was to say such words.It almost made her want to die, her heartbeat was one hundred and four, waiting for the general manager's reaction, but she didn't expect that the latter just twitched her eyelids twice, and then turned the conversation nonchalantly to talk about Manager Zhang, your monthly summary When is it going to be handed over to me? It's the tenth day of the first month, and if you drag it on, it's time to write this monthly summary.
Very obvious process of venting anger.That is, after the meeting, Du Ruoheng heard Wu Wenping from the finance department muttering, saying where did Kang Chen come from? The character is so good that even his immediate superiors are accommodating.
During the day, Du Ruoheng was thinking about the list when he was free, but at night he suddenly felt relieved.She really didn't want to see Zhou Yanchi, but in the end he was not a beast, he would come whenever he wanted, she did her job, and the rest had nothing to do with her.This is how it should be.
After thinking about it like this, it was finally easy, when suddenly I heard someone knock on the office door twice.
Kang Chen's voice was unreasonably gentle at night: "I see that the light on your side seems to be on, are you still working?"
Du Ruoheng went to answer the door, and Kang Chen was standing at the door in light clothes and trousers, the light reflected tenderness on his brows and eyes.
The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he smiled a little: "Seeing that you haven't rested yet, I came to chat with you."
"Why didn't you come home?"
Kang Chen suggested that the two of them go to the bar on the first floor, and replied, "I have something to work overtime."
"Is the front office busy recently?"
Kang Chen said solemnly: "I'm not busy. But I'm busy with other things. I told you, don't tell others——I found a part-time job, and recently I'm working part-time to make money."
"..."
Du Ruoheng ordered a non-alcoholic drink, watching Kang Chen's stretched posture leaning against the bar.Good-looking and temperamental men are always privileged, and their every move is pleasing to the eye.Du Ruoheng could understand the red hearts of the little girls in the hotel. If she hadn't held that face to Zhou Yan for too many years, she would not be so calm when she suddenly met such a person.
The two usually get along well, but they have never been alone like this in private, so they were a little silent for a while.Under such circumstances, Du Ruoheng usually waited for the other party to start the conversation first, but tonight she felt inexplicably relaxed, and felt that she and Kang Chen didn't need to worry too much, so she asked first: "Has Manager Kang been to T City?"
"very familiar."
"How familiar are you?"
Kang Chen said with a smile: "I am so familiar that I can memorize all the streets on a city map. My home is in T City."
"..."
Du Ruoheng thought of an unknown small city that Kang Chen had written on his resume. Compared with what he said now, his intuition was a bit subtle.She thought for a while and changed the subject: "And the chocolate you gave my daughter that day, I would like to thank you on her behalf."
"What's the name of the little girl?"
"Zhou Titi."
"It looks like it's only three or four years old."
"Indeed, it will be my fourth birthday in two months."
Du Ruoheng was a little worried that he would ask her about the divorce next, but Kang Chen didn't say a word.The two chatted for about an hour, but Du Ruoheng knew a lot of inside information confirmed by Kang Chen himself. For example, he now lives in the east of the city and has a collection of ancient books at home. This was beyond Du Ruoheng's expectations. ; Another example is that the black B-series car he drives to work every day is indeed owned by him; another example is that he actually has a half-brother, and the relationship between the two is normal, maybe a little bit bad.
Du Ruoheng took the initiative to ask more than half of these topics.She admitted that she was the gossip spirit, but at the same time she was surprised by Yu Kang Chen's generous cooperation.Obviously according to his wrist, he can perfectly confuse every problem.
But no matter what, Du Ruoheng was content to gossip about this mysterious handsome man to such an extent.So much so that she walked briskly on the way back to the office, and all the anger brought by Wen Huai and Zhou Yanchi dissipated.Except that I felt that if the content of the conversation just now were changed in terms of time and characters, it would seem to be an introduction meeting of a blind date between men and women.
The next morning, Du Ruoheng restarted the machine, and not long after, he reminded Zhou Yanchi to call.
The phone over there rang for the third time, and Du Ruoheng finally answered it.
Zhou Yanchi cut to the chase: "I will go to City S next week and live in Jingman Garden."
Du Ruoheng finally spoke coldly, saying that he knew it a long time ago.
Zhou Yanchi paused for a while, then said, "If you find it inconvenient, I can live somewhere else nearby."
"You think too much, I don't have that much time." After speaking, he closed the phone.
The roles the two actually get along with are actually the opposite of what they seem to outsiders.Outsiders have been rumoring that one of the Zhou couples is strong and the other is weak, and that the strong one cannot be Du Ruoheng. In fact, Du Ruoheng was soft-spoken and tolerant when he was outside, but he was able to hold Zhou Yan in the time before the divorce. Direct war on physical violence.Zhou Yanchi at work is a cold-blooded, ruthless, harsh and serious tyrant boss. No matter how angry Du Ruoheng is when he returns home, he can always hold back his anger.
At their wedding, Su Qiu said that they were perfect couples, and Zhou Yan's recalcitrant temper was destined to be lonely all his life. Fortunately, there was Du Ruoheng who made him willing to restrain himself.For Du Ruoheng, she had the problem of overthinking and looking ahead, and Zhou Yanchi just gave her the correct and direct decision.
Du Ruoheng's psychiatrist, her former classmate Nie Liwei, after learning about Zhou Yanchi's upbringing, told Du Ruoheng that his dislike of listening to other people's words and his growing up in a discordant family environment led him to have a deep love for Zhongzheng. Word comprehension is biased.But Du Ruoheng thinks this is not the root cause.She just felt that she had relied too much on and trusted Zhou Yanchi, which caused Zhou Yanchi to be so negligent about the solemnity and seriousness of marriage.
She used to look up to this man so much, and she was completely relieved.Before marriage, she was in a state of obsession with him for a time, so much so that she trusted Zhou Yanchi's behavior [-]% and rarely asked him.She had never given Zhou Yanchi the same level of trust she gave to anyone else.This made her always laugh at his negative comments, but now that she recalls it, she has a kind of unbearable thought - she once built her trust so blindly on other people except herself, no wonder it collapsed Just for a moment.
On the day of the forum meeting, Zhou Yanchi entered the hotel with a group of delegates.Du Ruoheng distributed room cards and meeting passes on behalf of the front desk staff. When it was his turn, she gave him a better attitude than she had treated him after the divorce.Zhou Yanchi glanced at her, took it upstairs without saying a word, and called the front desk after a while: "There is a problem with the hair dryer in the room."
Du Ruoheng said, "I'll ask the waiter to bring you another one right away."
"You waiters have been away for a long time and haven't come back. I hope you will come up."
Du Ruoheng dropped the phone and went upstairs blankly, followed by Wang Feifei who was about to stare at her.
When they got to the room, Zhou Yanchi signaled to her that the hair dryer was indeed broken and unusable. The two stood facing each other less than a meter apart. Du Ruoheng checked for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Did you break it yourself?"
Zhou Yanchi said: "You have to put every abnormal event on me before you are willing?"
"It's not an anomaly, it's an anomaly. Before you came, I checked every corner of these rooms, and there is no problem. If you forcefully break the equipment and then slander it, it is an insult to my work."
After speaking, Du Ruoheng turned around and left.Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulders and pulled her hard, and Zhou Yanchi nailed her to the wall.
His voice was calm: "We need to talk."
"Talk about what?"
"You were prejudiced against me when you divorced."
"Prejudice? I don't even have the slightest idea of you. How could there be any prejudice left?"
"Why are you so impatient with me?"
Du Ruoheng didn't bother to answer him, so he bit and pushed him away, but no matter how hard he struggled, Zhou Yanchi used moderate strength to suppress her.Both of her legs were even stuck, and her whole body was pressed tightly against the wall.This feeling was very bad, and made her angry quickly, "Let go!"
In the past, in the marriage, it was common for the two to quarrel in the last half of the marriage, but every time Du Ruoheng sneered at each other and even used violence. Zhou Yanchi never fought back once, and if the problem was not serious, he would even seldom avoid it. No matter what she throws at him, he will take it life by death.It was the same this time, Zhou Yan held on for a while, and gradually loosened his strength.
But he still blocked her way out: "You are now to the point where you can even get angry when you see me. We have been together for so many years, do you think this is normal?"
"What's abnormal, everything is normal." Du Ruoheng gritted his teeth, "Are you going to let it go or not!"
"What's wrong with you? Where did I provoke you?"
Du Ruoheng didn't answer at all.She struggled to free her right hand, and slammed the hair dryer on his back hard.Taking advantage of Zhou Yanchi's distraction, he immediately ran five meters away from him.
Du Ruoheng didn't leave any room for it, and Zhou Yanchi was almost blacked out.Every time Du Ruoheng fights with him, he doesn't think about the relationship between husband and wife. He sometimes regrets teaching her the way of defense before. Then it all happened to him.
When his eyes were clear, he saw Du Ruoheng was stepping back angrily and vigilantly, grabbing a shirt button that had been torn open on his chest.
Zhou Yanchi closed his eyes slightly and inhaled lightly. It is estimated that his back had already bruised a lot, and he felt cool even when he breathed.Seeing that Du Ruoheng stared at him no better than staring at an enemy who has no worldly vengeance, he became even more annoyed: "You can rest assured, how dare I go there again, you should be quite knowledgeable about your skills." confidence."
Du Ruoheng said: "I don't believe even a hair of your whole body from head to toe."
He only took a small step forward, but Du Ruoheng immediately took a big step back.Zhou Yanchi had to stop, feeling helpless and a little funny.
He said: "Is this how you treat your hotel guests? I want hot towels and a bottle of safflower oil."
"The ointment provided by the hotel is ten times more expensive than outside."
"It's okay, if you fetch it and push it for me, I don't mind paying a hundred times more."
Du Ruoheng was furious: "There are no such messy things in the hotel! Go buy it yourself and make you suffer!"
After turning around and leaving, Zhou Yanchi reminded behind him: "Wait, I still need a new hair dryer."
"It's not my business!"
Zhou Yanchi said calmly again: "There should be a sewing kit in the drawer in the room."
Du Ruoheng wanted to strangle him to death: "Don't worry about it."
She finally touched the doorknob, opened the door and walked away without looking back.
Du Ruoheng touched the hotel brochure in Zhou Yanchi's room, and returned to the office with a thick black book in front of his chest.Cursing bastard bastard while changing shirts, Wang Feifei was whispering to Xiaoye when she returned to the lobby, she immediately corrected her attitude when she saw her, and then her eyes became meaningful when she saw the shirt she changed.
Du Ruoheng's face was as dark as water and angry.The neutral pen she was holding was on the list of participants without moving for a long time, until Zhou Yanchi sent another text message: "Uncle Liu specially made your favorite cookies for you, and they are in my room."
Du Ruoheng finally got a smile on his face when a new delegate signed the contract, pointing his finger at Zhou Yanchi and turning back viciously: "Get lost!"
In the afternoon, Du Ruoheng was ordered to follow the general manager and visit several important people among the representatives present.The first one was Zhou Yanchi's room. As soon as he opened the door, he could smell a strong scent of activating collateral oil.
Zhou Yanchi was wearing his own dark blue nightgown, with a cold expression, and he rarely responded to the general manager's warm and thoughtful greetings.Du Ruoheng has known him for so many years, but he rarely sees Zhou Yanchi outside.Most of the occasions he took her in and out were relaxed, and most of them were small dinner parties. At that time, he acted more easy-going, like a talkative person, with a slight condescension, and Du Ruoheng heard from Su Qiu There is a great distance between the cold-blooded emperor.
Therefore, she rarely sees Zhou Yanchi as he is now, with arrogance and dignity, and the conversation with the general manager is full of hierarchical divisions between people.
She scolded him in her heart for bullying.
The general manager has passed the age of knowing the destiny, and seems to be more open-minded than Du Ruoheng, smiling all the time, as if he didn't notice it.He asked Zhou Yanchi if there was anything that he didn't take good care of in the hotel, while he looked around to check the guest room, and then his eyes fell on the white hair dryer whose wiring was torn off in the bathroom through the glass door.
Zhou Yanchi glanced over, and Bafeng explained calmly: "I accidentally tore it just now, and I haven't had time to ask the waiter to change it."
The general manager turned to look at Du Ruoheng, who immediately used the walkie-talkie to connect with his subordinates: "Huang Xiaowan, replace the guests in room 1407 with a new hair dryer."
Zhou Yanchi suddenly said, "Manager Du is here to help."
Du Ruoheng smiled gracefully and gently: "If not, Mr. Zhou is polite, this is my duty."
After the two visited several important officials present at the meeting, the general manager suddenly said: "Xiao Du, I remember that you are also from T City?"
"Yes."
He looked at her with an inquiring look in his eyes: "Then do you know Zhou Yanchi?"
"...Mr. Zhou is so famous, there should be few people in T city who don't know him."
In the evening Du Ruoheng called Zhou Titi.The little girl was alone at home with the nanny, complaining to her mother that she was afraid.
Du Ruoheng always feels complicated at such times.Her parents divorced when she was young, and she still remembers clearly what it was like to leave her father. It was not a pleasant childhood experience.Now this same feeling has to be extended to his own daughter.If she hadn't divorced, she would have been by her daughter's bedside to lull her to sleep like most mothers in the world at this moment.How warm that scene will be.That's how it should be.
She has almost forgotten that she was not a multiple-choice question at the beginning.Her psychiatrist treated her very early, but there was no curative effect. In the end, the psychiatrist had nothing to do with her and told her seriously that she should have a clear understanding of her illness and follow the trend at that time, and finally It is not impossible to develop severe depression, which is already suicidal.
She couldn't sleep every night those days.Tossing and turning in the bedroom by myself.Zhou Yanchi quarreled with her, from the first tolerance to the later tit-for-tat confrontation and finally not returning all night, she began to hold a grudge against Zhou Yanchi from then on, and desperately wondered why he was no longer with her.
Du Ruoheng is actually not good at coaxing children.I can only say over and over again that Titi is good and Titi is not afraid that there will be a nanny in my father's house and he will be back in two days.Zhou Titi gradually began to cry like the rain was coming, and she was a little panicked.The arrival of this child was originally an accident. Du Ruoheng once told Zhou Yanchi fiercely that I don't want to have a child. Zhou Yanchi agreed very well, and even said it was okay. He didn't really want it, but he couldn't stand it. One in ten thousand chance exists.
Zhou Titi started to sob, Du Ruoheng said don't cry, okay, mom will make you your favorite bear cheesecake next time.Zhou Titi cried and said that it is not good that I only want parents.Du Ruoheng had no choice but to say that her mother was here, but Zhou Titi cried even harder: "I want my father! I want my father! I want my father and my mother!"
Soon Zhou Titi said something that made it even more difficult for her: "Dad said he would stay in the same hotel with you today, Mom, you go to find Dad, you go to find Dad!"
"..."
Du Ruoheng turned around three times, and finally stomped out of the office to find Zhou Yanchi.
Zhou Yanchi was handling company affairs with his glasses on, when he heard Du Ruoheng ringing the doorbell impatiently outside.At the same time he answered the door, she stuffed the phone into his hand, folded her arms with a bad expression: "Zhou Titi asked you to listen to the phone."
Du Ruoheng just wanted to leave and come back after he finished beating, but Zhou Yan quickly dragged him into the room and closed the door behind him.While calling his daughter's name on the phone, his tone was gentle enough to drip water.
Over there, most of Zhou Titi's crying disappeared in an instant, and she asked her father what you were doing with sobs.
Zhou Yanchi dragged Du Ruoheng to the sofa and sat down, while saying, "I'm chatting with your mother."
"What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yanchi opened the suitcase with one hand, took out a box of handmade cookies, and handed it to Du Ruoheng: "I'm talking about whether Zhou Titi is good at home these days."
Zhou Titi immediately said that she was very good.Zhou Yanchi hummed: "That's what I told your mother too."
When he said this, the corners of his eyes were raised, with a slight smile.The eyebrows and eyes are full of tenderness.Du Ruoheng has never been able to deny that Zhou Yanchi loves Zhou Titi more than she does. He treats most people in this world with reservations, but he treats his daughter with [-]% effort and patience. his cognitive level.
